Coronation Week - Pgm 2

June 2nd, 2017

Here’s the second of two episodes of an obscure special series syndicated by London Records as part of the celebrations surrounding the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

In program 2, reporter Josephine Hunter interviews Lord Donegal and James Farley at the lower level of the Rockefeller Center about the State Coach that will be used by the Queen to ride to and from the Coronation. London Records paid for a replica of the Coach to be transported to Rockefeller Center for a Coronation Week display. Farley briefly talks about his travels to Europe and Israel as part of work on the board of the Coca-Cola Corporation. Music from London FFRR Records is interspersed through the interviews. Goldin dates the program to June 2, 1952.

The show was transferred from a sixteen vinyl transcription pressed by RCA, matrix number E3-KM-3553.
